I'm thinking about selling off most of what I have on the frog rack (tanks + frogs and all) in order to build a big vivarium. I'm just considering this now so don't get all upset haha. The viv would be a corner tank and I'd completely "pimp" it out... everything would be automated and such. I'm thinking about the pros and cons right now of this and I'd like your opinions.
Pros:
-Much less care (from 4ish hours a week to less than one)
-A large vivarium has a nice impact on the room
-I can do more with this viv than any other I have ever built
-I can do everything right this time with more experience under my belt than before
-It would be friggin' awesome... just like Grimm's Peninsula
Cons:
-I won't be able to keep all my species of frogs
-It could get boring only having one viv
Also, since I keep 5 species now I'd obviously have to sell some off before I do this. I'm thinking of doing some "responsible" mixing since this viv would be 100+ gallons... maybe, say, leucs+vents, or azureus+imi's... something along those lines. Not sure about that yet. I just don't want to get rid of all my frogs!
Please help me out here!
